In the world we live in today, so many of us grow up without a dad. We spend our whole lives wondering what we did wrong, wondering why they left. We put all of our time and energy into the person who didn’t care enough about us in the first place to even stay in our lives. They didn’t care enough to even send us a birthday card. We spend nights crying ourselves to sleep wishing “daddy” was there to tuck us in. We get jealous of all the girls going to the daddy daughter dances. We are letting someone who doesn’t care about us one bit control our lives when they aren’t even in them. All because we thirst for their love and acceptance.
Each one of us has a paper called a “birth certificate” written on this piece of paper has your name and two other people’s name on it in the category of “Mother” and “Father”. The two people on your birth certificate may be your best friend, someone who gives you unconditional love and support. I know one of the two names on my birth certificate was that person for me. For others, the two names could be their biggest fear, or even a stranger.
Luckily for us that’s not our only birth certificate. The most beautiful thing about this earth is something called “rebirth”. When you Rebirth you get a second chance, and most importantly you get a new paper. This piece of paper also is called a birth certificate, but under the category called “parents” there is just one name written, that name is God.
God is your father. God fills the whole of any broken-heart boy or girl who didn’t grow up with a father figure. She who never had a date to the daddy daughter dance, or someone to play catch with. God gives you the unconditional love you’ve been longing for your entire life. God fills the whole to any broken heart.
